Hunter's POV

I pulled into my parents' driveway and killed the engine. Grace sat beside me, still with that slight flush on her cheeks whenever I caught her looking at me. All through breakfast, every time she thought of the coming night, she'd gotten that dreamy, distracted look that sent a kick of heat right to my groin. I'd almost called my parents to cancel twice, just wanting to take Grace back to bed.

"You're sure they're ready for all this?" Grace asked, nervously tugging at her sweater. "Finding out about Helena's affairs is one thing, but the diary and everything else..."

"They need to know," I said, taking her hand to stop her fidgeting. "Dad's already fielding calls from the older members of the board. And they love you, Grace. That's never going to change."

She nodded, drawing a deep breath. "I just hate being the one who brings this kind of mayhem to your family."

"You didn't cause any of this." I squeezed her hand, bringing it to my lips. "Helena did. My mother always ha

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Eight

    Hunter's POVI was in the kitchen making eggs when my phone rang. Morrison's name flashed on the screen, and my stomach tightened. Grace was still asleep upstairs, and I wanted to keep it that way, at least until I knew what this call was about."Morrison," I answered, keeping my voice low."Mr. Sinclair, I'm calling to let you know we've just arrested Margo Wilson."I paused, setting down the spatula. "When?""About an hour ago. She's being processed now. Thought you and Mrs. Sinclair should know before it hits the news."I exhaled slowly. It was expected, but hearing it confirmed still felt like a punch to the gut. For Grace's sake."Thank you for the heads up," I said."There's one more thing. Your father-in-law asked us to call you and let you know. He'd like to speak with Grace when she's ready."Poor John. This was going to destroy what was left of his campaign, but he'd made his choice. He had stayed with Margo instead of leaving her years ago."I'll let her know," I said. "Tha

    Grace's POV"He knew nothing about the payments, about the egg switch, about any of it. The diary makes that clear. Helena only involved people she could control. Even Hunter was kept in the dark." Because there was no way Helena could ever control Hunter. She may have thought she could.Detective Morrison nodded. "The evidence supports that. Your father wasn't involved in the financial arrangements."Relief washed through me, even though I'd known it was true. Dad had been as manipulated as I had, just in a different way."What about the clinic?" Hunter asked. "When will it be shut down?""The state medical board has already suspended their license pending investigation," Elliott replied. "The doctor directly involved will face criminal charges."Quinn gathered her papers. "I think we're done here. My clients have been more than cooperative."As we stood to leave, Morrison addressed me one last time. "Mrs. Sinclair, I want you to know, what happened to you was wrong. No one should ha

    Grace’s POVAs we pulled into the parking lot of the police station, I spotted Quinn's sleek black car already waiting.She stepped out as we approached, impeccable as always in a tailored suit, her expression giving nothing away. But her eyes softened when she saw me."How are you holding up?" she asked."I'm okay," I said, managing a small smile. "Got some good news this morning, actually."Quinn tilted her head, curiosity flashing across her face."We will tell you later," Hunter said."Well," Quinn said, straightening her shoulders, "let's get this over with so you can go home."I nodded, taking a deep breath as we approached the station entrance. Reporters clustered near the doors, cameras at the ready. Hunter's arm went around me protectively."Mrs. Sinclair! Is it true you're pregnant?" one shouted."Hunter! Do you have any comment?"Quinn stepped in front of us, her voice cutting through the chaos. "No questions. Mrs. Sinclair is here to cooperate fully with the investigation.

    Grace’s POVAs we drove away from the doctor's office, I kept stealing glances at the ultrasound images clutched in my hands. Two babies. Twins. The reality of it still hadn't fully sunk in."Twins," I whispered again, running my finger over the fuzzy outline of Baby A, then Baby B. "I still can't believe it."Hunter reached across the console and squeezed my knee, his eyes never leaving the road. "How are you feeling?""A little overwhelmed and terrified. But excited." I laughed softly. "All of the above? It's a lot to take in.""It is," he agreed, his voice gentle. "But we've got this, Grace. Together. Just think, it could have been triplets.""Then I would really be worried where they will fit." I studied his profile, the strong line of his jaw, the slight curve of his lips that hadn't fully disappeared since the moment Dr. Bates had said the word "twins." Hunter had always wanted a family. I knew this was everything to him."I'm going to get so big," I said, imagining my petite fr

    Grace's POVMonday morning, Hunter had already taken the day off. We would need to go to the police station after the scan so I could make a statement about the surrogacy. The detectives had called late Sunday afternoon. So much for contacting us later; they hadn't waited long.I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at my reflection. My hand drifted to my stomach for the thousandth time since waking. Today we'd see our baby for the first time. Hear the heartbeat. Make it real in a way even the positive test hadn't managed."You ready?" Hunter's voice came from the bedroom.I took a breath. "As I'll ever be."When I emerged, he was waiting, already dressed in dark jeans and a sweater. The casual look suited him, made him seem less CEO and more... sexy and mine. That I was still getting used to. That he was truly mine.His eyes swept over me, lingering on the simple dress I'd chosen. "Beautiful.""I'm a little nervous," I admitted.He crossed to me, his hands settling on my wa

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Three

    Grace's POVI forced my eyes open, reality slowly creeping back as my body hummed with the aftershocks of pleasure. Hunter's weight pressed me into the mattress; his breathing still ragged against my neck. I hadn't meant to come without his permission. The realization sent a flutter of nervous excitement through me."I'm sorry," I whispered.Hunter lifted his head, those beautiful eyes finding mine, his expression amused. "For what?""I came without permission."His lips curved into a slow, dangerous smile. "You did, didn't you?" He shifted, easing out of me with careful movements before rolling to his side, propping himself on one elbow to look down at me. "I was going to build you up all night, Grace. Make you beg for it."I swallowed hard, watching as his fingers trailed lazily across my stomach, leaving goosebumps in their wake. "Are you... disappointed?""Disappointed?" He laughed, the sound low and rough. "No, baby. I'm thinking about how to punish you next time."My breath caug
